Frequently asked questions

Are foreign cards accepted?

Most online booking platforms accept foreign cards with a small fee. At physical counters Thai cash or QR is faster. ATM nearby for cash withdrawal if needed.

Where do I buy tickets?

Official counter is the primary option for cash purchases. Online platforms like 12go.asia handle most routes for foreign-card purchases. Avoid touts outside the official terminal who add commission.

How early should I arrive?

30 minutes before departure for buses 60 minutes for trains and 90 minutes for flights at small airports. High-season weekend departures fill faster so add a buffer. Luggage check-in adds time.
